After School Club

Kennett Primary After School Club opened in September 2010. Our popularity has grown over the last few years to become a successful, educational and fun After School Club. We offer low cost quality out of school care for children aged 4-11 years. Our staff is experienced, CRB checked and trained or training towards a play qualification.

We are open during term time from 3.15pm to 5.30pm and offer three different sessions between these times:

At our After School Club, we promote the principles of play: that children's play is freely chosen and that through play children can explore - learning and developing as an individual. Our aim is to provide opportunities for the individual child to achieve his or her potential in a fun, friendly and caring environment. Your child's enjoyment, care and safety are our main concerns.

The After School Club is based in our new spacious Eco-Building, which is located in the school playground. This fabulous space now allows us to accommodate up to 16 children per session. The children arrive at the Club and have the opportunity to have a snack and a drink, and then our activities start. There is one main activity per session that is staff led, which the children can choose to take part in. Also during the session, there are general craft materials available for the children to choose and create their own activities. There is also a selection of board games and play materials such as Lego, Hama beads and a football table. Your child will also be free to use the school laptops and library. The children have access to all the outside spaces at the school. These include the Spinney, which has a variety of climbing equipment and the school playground, where we play outdoor sports such as parachute games, football and other fun games. The club has themed activities to celebrate special events and holidays such as Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. A new timetable is produced every half term and is available to parents and children.

Free taster sessions are available if you would like your child/children to try. Please enquire at the School Office for availability. We also accept Child Care Vouchers for those entitled to them.

"I think After School Club is really cool now that we are in the new classroom. We have more space and we can do more activities. More options to do and we can hang things up."
